Re: Anyone Have 1.5 or better package in Ofallon,IL?
vpr611  , please show me where I stated "DSL is a dedicated connection to the Internet" and "Bandwidth is never shared"
I never said any of those comments.
The "main" difference between Cable, and DSL, is the way the networks are set up.
Cable Internet is connected in nodes. This being each area of town, or a neighborhood are on a node, and it is possible for a node to get busy during peak times.
DSL on the other hand, is a single line from your location to the CO (central Office) From there is it connected to a backbone, just like any other connection.
Technically, ALL internet access types, Dial-up, Cable, DSL, T1, etc. are shared at some point before getting to a backbone.
All providers buy pipes (T1, DS3, etc) which they branch off and sell the end user service.
Now back to my main point, DSL will not suffer like Cable does when it comes to over subscribed nodes on peak times.
